Sometimes funny, sometimes scandalous, always compelling, this extraordinary first novel chronicles the women of the Wong family from frontier railroad camps to modern-day Vancouver. As past sins and inborn strengths are passed on from mother to daughter to granddaughter, each generation confronts, in its own way, the same problems -- isolation, racism, and the clash of cultures. Moving effortlessly between past and present, between North America and China, Sky Lee weaves fiction and historical fact into a memorable and moving picture of a people's struggle for identity.

用户评价

想要了解温哥华历史，尤其是华人社区史的读者，Sky Lee的这本书就像一本家庭史诗，纠集着华人、土著、白人之间三代人的悲欢离合。大量的场景使得在温哥华住过的人都会觉得如此熟悉。比如english bay。我是很少看小说的人，但这本小说，page to page读完了。
